The Limits

Adaptive radiation stretches dark energy
through the frantic cosmos of our present reality
there are no easy ways to pull back
into the smallest green parkland
and just stop

expectations are high,
tension is tight, the Wallendas are walking high again
as people fall off the comet of life to crash land;
ice particles on some barren asteroid
try to find ride, to get back on
the Orion capsule is not yet ready for the trip,
space shuttle long retired,
Kirk and Spock dream trek in their 80s
if they can find a new director

the answers are slow, direct, etches in stone
passively waiting for the comet to crash
rollercoaster wall street math
akin to corporate Vegas
with less morals

its all made up

self justified, stress and power over others
based on a set of common beliefs, which in the end,
mean nothing
there is no rich white man's afterlife
money cannot buy you a stairway to heaven
and a box seat in the great beyond
the games are over
the dream of the sleeping Vishnu
is not what happens when he wakes
for that we will all see
later on.
